You have somehow managed to include in this list the only good uniforms in the histories of the Raptors and the Magic. Also, it's a huge oversight to have missed this reverse-classic from the Nets.

No, I don't. Both the Raptors and the Magic have had horrible designs for most of their existences. The pictures in that montage show the only uniforms that these teams have had that are fit for adults. (I will say that the praise that the original Orlando uniform with the infantile hand-written script gets around here constitutes one of the great mysteries of the universe.) 4 minutes ago, kimball said: Really though?

Indeed, they were not as bad as what the Nets wear now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed on Boston, Philly, Atlanta (that yellow jersey looks awful), Portland, Phoenix, Lakers, Mavericks (good idea in theory, bad in execution), maybe Orlando. I actually like the Pacers and Knicks uniforms you posted (yes, I know it was the wrong colors for the Knicks, but I still like the uniform itself). I LOVED that red '90s Heat alternate; I always hoped they'd be wearing it when I watched them back in those days. I would sort of like that Thunder uniform if it weren't sleeved. The current Clippers' red jersey is better than their black jersey (although if you just mean the overall set I agree). Disagree on T-Wolves: they looked better, not worse, before they got rid of the tree pattern on their jerseys. Not sure about Spurs because they've always looked more or less the same. I don't know that the Warriors have ever had a truly bad look except maybe their current sleeved black alts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original Magic uniforms were fun. They were meant to appeal to kids more than to adults (ditto the name) but they appealed to adults too because they were fun. The original Raptors jerseys weren't as good in my opinion, but they were still meant to be...well, fun. 'Twas the mid-nineties, my friend. Incidentally, I'm surprised you actually like the Raptors look that had a purple-in-front-black-in-back road jersey. I would think that would be one thing that would drive both of us crazy, different as we are. (I'm not totally sure it's their worst look because I think they looked better with purple in their color scheme than they do without.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going only by the home uniform shown. So, then, I will rescind my comment about that uniform being their best ever, and bestow that honour on their current uniform, which, despite lettering that is not as good as that on the set shown in the picture, is nevertheless a great example of a clean and dignified style.

A green alternate in the same template as the home and away would've been a bit generic, perhaps, but it would nonetheless have been aesthetically pleasing. This...this logo is so big that it distracts from everything else and almost makes the jersey look like it's a purple-green gradient rather than green.

BBTV Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I think I was around 10 or 11 when the Magic became a thing and I remember seeing those uniforms and being like "dafaq with that 2?" They were terrible. I don't care if they were supposed to be "fun", they were too childish and looked silly on grown-ass men. They got good pretty quickly thanks to Shaq and Penny, which IMO is about the only explanation I can think of for those things being remembered so fondly. Seriously - what's up with the numbers? The 2 is disgusting. "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

Maybe so. Needs purple...or at the very least, SOMETHING to distinguish these guys from all the other red-black teams in the league (Portland, Chicago, Miami). No, having gold trim on the alt doesn't count. Incidentally, I wouldn't be opposed to the Raptors getting a total recolor. They were purple originally because it was 1995 - well, I'm sure the color was chosen a year or two in advance, but you get my point. The Velociraptor was a chicken-sized predator/scavenger that was covered in feathers. A live one has never been seen by human eyes. There's no reason a team named after it NEEDS to be any particular color. There's not enough orange in the NBA; how about that? Toronto basketball has blue in its history too. Orange primary, blue secondary, silver tertiary? Just one possible idea. Regardless, red-black looks generic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, both teams in checkerboard sides...do I sense a theme? I actually liked that half-and-half Kings jersey better than the front-and-back Raptors jersey, for what it's worth.
